Eligibility

To participate in the Work Britain program you must be legally able to work in Britain.

For New Zealand passport-holders this will mean that you must be between the ages of 18 and 30 (inclusive) and can apply for the two year Youth Mobility Scheme.

Alternatively you may be eligible for a British or EU passport, or have a certificate of entitlement to the Right of Abode, or British ancestry. If you are eligible for any of these you will be able to work in Britain but you will have to apply to the British High Commission. No worries there, we'll help you out with all that!

IMPORTANT: You should allow at least 8-12 weeks for the complete process from submitting your initial application to having your visa issued; however it can take longer depending on if you have to attend an interview with an Embassy, have criminality, medical or background issues or if the processing time increases. It is possible for a faster processing time but that depends on the situation, please contact us and we will be able to give you a more accurate timeline
